I mean, it is a very Peter thing to say, and entirely believable given his history.
Though on the plus side, an attack based on making people feel negative thoughts ain't going to do much to Peter.
It's like trying to drown a fish.
(increasingly worried that the conclusion is going to have Ben come back and die 'heroically' to save Peter. Again.
Or get killed because of Peter's self-destructive stupidity.)

Date: 2022-02-16 07:08 pm (UTC)We have had attempts at addressing mental health, but the less said about some of them, the better.
The few times we do get competent, decent mental health professionals in comics, they largely tend to disappear or be in the background. Like in DC, I can think of...what, Joan Leland as a fairly competent professional, if only hampered by working at Arkham? And she's in the DCAU and Telltale, not sure if she's even made it to comics canon.
And I can't tell why (outside of status quo stuff) that this occurs. Whether it's simply continued cultural trends reinforcing the idea that mental health and the professionals involved are only in it for the money or prestige of writing about some patient in a tell-all (ala Friedlander from GTA V), or some decades long overreaction to Wertham...honestly, it's frustrating and disappointing that its still largely existent as a story-telling element, if now there seems to be some advancement.

"Wait, did?"
"Yes, they're currently in Ravencroft after suffering an extreme nervous breakdown after dealing with their former patient, a psychiatrist who is so happened, again turned evil."
"Isn't there anyone who can help me?"
"Well, there is Dr. Timothy..."
"I'll take him."

"Sure are a lot of pictures of toenails on the wall."
"Oh, I'm a licensed podiatrist."
"I'll take what I can get at this point."

Date: 2022-02-16 07:45 pm (UTC)In all seriousness, why did she transform at all? Sin Eater didn't get all Gobliny when he took them. He didn't even turn all negative when he had Mr. Negative's powers. He just got huge when he took Juggernaut's for some reason. And his neck disappeared. I feel like it would work better if Beyond Corp used a variant of the Goblin Formula specifically tailored for this. I mean, what's a Spider-Man without a Goblin? With Norman out of the business for the time being, a replacement was needed for Ben. This makes sense. Instead they exposed her to something as abstract as "sins" and hoped for the best.
I know she just appeared and all, but she's not being a very good Goblin. Where's the insane peels of laughter? Ned Leeds was better at being a Goblin and he was a brainwashed patsy.
